geez. why don't you just put it up on the table. take the existing kickstand. and a grinder and shorten the blade on top of the kick stand (male part) to provide more lean. and if need to. take previous grinder and shorten the valley part (female) part. until you get the desired lean angle you desire. it's free and simple and looks stock when your done. just do a search for kickstand mods.

MK, as the last two indicated the cheap mod works great! I pulled the kickstand off, marked a 1/8" line down on the piece that hits the frame, took the grinder to it. Also had to grind a bit off of the frame as it hit the weld on the kickstand. I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't get any pictures. Had to get one of the kids to soccer practice and when I got back I was able to get the front lowering kit installed. It leans just fine now.

this is the one i bought after installing the Burly kit
I have this same one. I'm running 11" rears and I think 1.5" drop up front. Whatever a 2" spacer lowers with progressive drop springs up front. My bike leans preetty damn far and I'm sure it will still work if I was to go lower.
